  • Animation: Genre and Authorship
    Animation: Genre and Authorship By Paul Wells London: Wallflower Press, 2002. ISBN 1-903364-20-5. 8 illustrations, 160pp. £11.99 (pbk) A review by Esme Davidson, Nottingham Trent University, UK In the opening paragraph of this book Paul Wells states that animation is "arguably the most important creative form of the twenty-first century … It is the omnipresent pictorial form of the modern era" (1). Despite animation's prominent status in everyday life, from television commercials to the recent spate of popular feature length animation films to various uses on the Web, the form itself has suffered a long history of systematic neglect -- both critically and academically. Frequently dismissed as nothing more than an entertainment form aimed at children, animation has rarely been considered worthy of sustained critical or academic attention. Over recent years this situation has gradually improved. An increase in the number of film festivals focusing on animation, and the establishing of the Society for Animation Studies in 1987 have helped to raise the profile and popularity of the animated form. Its critical and commercial status in Hollywood was recently recognised when it was granted its own Academy Awards category. However, despite this new critical interest serious academic explorations of animation are still relatively uncommon. Paul Wells is in fact individually responsible for many of the recent contributions to the topic. His publications in this field include Art and Animation (1997) (as guest editor), Understanding Animation (1998), Animation and America (2001), and a forthcoming title British Animation (2002), as well as several shorter pieces. Continuing this almost single-handed quest to open up the arena of animation, Wells locates Animation: Genre and Authorship as an introduction to the topic while simultaneously engaging with the specific issues of genre and auteur theory and their relationships to the animated form.

  • In Memoriam: Charles Foster Batchelder
    •958a 15 IN MEMORIAM: CHARLES FOSTER BATCHELDER BY WENDELL TABER CHARLES FOSTER BATCHELDER,last of the Founders of the American Ornithologists'Union and its eighth President(1905-1908), died at the age of 98 in his home in Peterborough,New Hampshire, on November 7, 1954. He had never taken out life insurance. Drily, he would remark he had figuredhe could beat the game. He failed, though, to achieve a minor goal, a life span of one hundred years. He had attained, easily, his major aim, the title of SeniorGraduate of Harvard College. In 1953, when Nathan M. Puseywas celebratinghis own "25th." and in process of being installedas Presidentof Harvard University, Batcheldermight well have led the parade of graduates at Commencement--in a wheel chair•elebrating his "Diamond Reunion"--alone! He refused. "Merely an object of curiosity." was his comment. His parents, Francis Lowell Batchelder and Susan Cabot Foster Batchelder,had acquireda country estate at 7 Kirkland Street in Cam- bridge, Massachusetts. Here, directly oppositethe back side of Hol- worthy Hall in the Harvard Yard, Batchelder was born, grew up, and resided for some months in winter for the rest of his life. Here, for about thirty years following the death of William Brewster, met the Nuttall OrnithologicalClub. Batchelder, born July 20, 1856, hardly knew his father, who died when Batchelderwas barely eighteenmonths of age. Ever an out-door lad as he grew up, he often wanderedover the four miles or so to the little hamlet of Arlington, riding in due time one of those huge wheels with baby trailer-wheel which precededthe bicycle as we know it today.
